That is
NOT correct!
The Ballcup and Shock shaft combination are designed to be used together, and have been used together for years! However, since the release of the K1, it has become an issue with them pulling out. We are working on a solution that should be available soon (1-2 weeks). In the mean time I would suggest 1 of 2 options:
a) Tighten the ball cup up fully (ignoring the manual stated lengths), it becomes tight when you get full thread engagement. Do not over tighten as the shaft will eventually deform the plastic sphere that sits over the ball.
b) The Cougar front rod end can be used, and is a slightly tighter fit. When using this, use a screw into the wishbone. Ensure the screw is long enough, and it may be prone to pulling out due to the M Flex wishbone Material.
Personally, I've had no problems with mine, but I tighten mine up until they are tight and there is full thread engagement. If anyone needs to contact me about this, or any other issue, my email is Tom 'at' racing-cars.com.
